I’ve stuck a couple of S&C in there earlier in the week. I know you said you had the kids but thought if anything would be possible, fitting them it might be a possibility. Sunday is the key session this week though as we look ahead to Paddock Wood in a few weeks time. Any problems let me know but keep working hard Jamie. The races are coming soon.

Got this one done! Unfortunately didn’t manage the S&C on Sunday and Monday – with the kids demands the days felt like workouts anyway 😂
😂 No worries about the other two. I understand it was always going to be tricky but glad you found the time to do these.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

This was a very good run – as mentioned on Strava it just felt comfortable, one of those runs that just flows right!
I do love them when these runs come along. Mark and Sue are down to do efforts tomorrow evening if you wanted to try and sort a lift over 🤔 Joe who lives in Bexhill also has hills so I mentioned him to you, perhaps you two could team up and do a session close to home, he might be fractionally quicker than you, but not much in it.

27pts | 90 Mins Run

90 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.

The wind was back on Friday! A solid run, but not quite as easy “feeling” as the day before with nearly 12km of headwind 😂
I’m a bit of a lightweight and will happily do laps of the park if the wind is blowing above 15mph. I guess you have Polgrove and Edgerton park you could use, but they are not as sheltered as Alexandra park. But more miles and pts banked which is what is important. Well done Jamie

A good session to practice goal pace. Likely to be one of the biggest sessions in your half marathon training plan.

I have a bit of a mixed reaction to this run – this came off the back of a couple of very poor night’s sleep and I just couldn’t hold focus throughout the run and generally didn’t feel overly strong during the run 😖 However, I do need to try and focus on the positives – firstly, the wind is still unrelenting, and, not learning my lesson still 😆, I went with small loops to limit the consecutive time in a headwind which in reality just meant very regular headwind sections 😂 Secondly, despite the issues mentioned and the feeling that I had more in me, it was still a good pace with PB potential!
I like this feedback. When I looked at your splits based on how you have been running, my first impression was you might be a little disappointed. Perhaps you went off a little hot? I think you’ve go a sub 90 minute HM in you. Whether that’s right now, I’m not sure. And given it’s such a big goal, I would say leave it in reserve for now. If you attempt that at PW if could unravel and you could end up knocking your confidence. I’d much rather you focus on just nudging under your PB and running a conservative strong race. I think you can achieve a PB at Paddock Wood at 80% effort. So that would be my advice on this occasion. Save that sub 90 for the autumn perhaps. If you do have other ideas happy to discuss, but I like this approach and well done for completing another very tough session.
